from SeaMonkey-2.3.1 and after adjusting the settings in the print preview the gtklp window showed up and the html page was send directly to my usb-epson-scanner-printer without having opened the cups-web-interface .

I ran into problems with it Karl. Here is a scan of a document printed from Slacko and Racy (patched). You can see some of the characters in the Racy section (the upper one) are garbled._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

I dont know, but I guess there is some way to tell Puppy to use another font when the required font is not on the system, something like verdana=sans.
I suspect this may be missing for Arial, but dont know where to look. Advice please._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

There def seems to be a problem with fonts in Racy. Here is a screenshot of a tiny little .doc file using Arial font. As can be seen, it is scrambled. Every other Puppy on my system, including Wary, can display this file.
Somewhere there has to be a file that tells Puppy what to use when a specified font is absent. My guess this file is either absent, or does not contain a reference to Arial, but I dont know where to look.

Barry has a new thing in woof that sets minimum font size. Maybe adjusting that and resetting the gtkrc fontsize will cure that issue, both printing and abiword._________________Puppy Linux Blog - contact me for access

No luck.... BUT.... all the font aliassing info seems to be in /etc/fonts. Comparing the contents of this dir with the one in Slacko shows a major re-write, so I swapped them out. Deleted /etc/fonts, and installed the one form Slacko, and, I'll be Damned.... it fixed it!

while reporting trouble of un/mounted drives in puppyinstaller I didn't looked closer, sorry. That's not the problem, but puppyinstaller script breaks in Racy when going "CONTINUE" on my test machines:

4/ I have a savefile problem for you!
I usually clone a duplicate install onto a second partition so I can "play" with one while keeping the other pristine for both comparison and cleanup. ie the content of /sda1/racy101 is copied to /sda2/racy101. They each contain the same named savefile and have their own menu lines in grub.
Normally when I boot one of the two up I get a "select list" asking me to pick which savefile to use, but not in this case, it's using the first from /sda1/racy101 in all cases unless I change the name of the savefile in one of them. It seems / looks like that racy101 can't diferentiate between savefile partitions if the directories are the same name.

It is not a matter of "can't differentiate", it was a deliberate design decision, requested by forum member Beem._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

I did a manual frugal install.
First boot to desktop but resolution was wrong so I chose the video
upgrade option and restarted X.
I chose probe and the proper resolution and it installed the nouveau
driver.
Racy Puppy, version 5.1.110 on Thu 27 Oct 2011

Rebooted creating save file.
===============================================================================
I wanted to install the proprietary nvidia driver (for games) so I found
nouveau.ko with Pfind and deleted it, changed the menu.lst entry to
pfix=nox and rebooted.
I installed the nvidia driver and ran xorgwizard and chose nvidia then
xwin to get back to the desktop.
I changed the menu.lst entry back to what it was.

EDIT: re-install, was able to load module. Survived re-boot, but no auto-detection._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

Auto configed everything on boot... correct graphics (1440x900), sound was there, internet connection was there and ready to go... Never had a pup do all that before, not to mention I have intel SIS graphic card on an old (probably 10 to 15 years old) PIII which I had no problems on startup with (most other puppy's gave me a headache and a half with) and the new 307 Kernel works really great and is FAST on this old box.

I know you favor Seamonkey Browser and it's really a pretty good browser however, after trying them all, Iron (for clarity, speed and overall performance) and I for one would like to see a .pet available for Racy with Iron-14? I tried the Iron-14's for Slacko and Luci but they don't even fire up, at all...

I’ve been trying your latest Racy that uses the 3.0.7 kernel. It’s working fine although I’ve run into two problems.

1. Bootmanager will not operate if the frugal installation is located on an ext4 partition that has more than 6 sfs files. I got the following message when running it in a console and trying to choose which sfs files to load. I tried it again with a frugal installation on an ext4partition that had only 5 sfs files and it works fine.

# bootmanager

2. Power-off computer reboots rather than shutting the computer down.

Otherwise, I really like your new 3.07 kernel which is fast and works fine on everything I’ve tried.
